The problem is that today there are a lot of voters who vote on emotion not fact. They've had the facts laid open to them for years, but they keep blindly being sheeple. Sheeple gonna sheeple no matter how many facts you give them.

You know I actually believe we are in an age where emotion rather than fact rules the day. If you have the facts available and choose to ignore them you have to ask why.
Be warned, you not like my answer to this.
In a society in which single Mothers outnumber Married to the Father Mothers, you're going to find emotion over rule fact.
Mothers can bring you from infancy to boyhood, but it takes a Man to bring you from boyhood to manhood. Essentially we have removed Men from the equation of raising children. The end result is emotions overruling facts.
We were designed to be interdependent in order to become a conventional Family. Women have roles and Men have roles, but when divorce at an industrial sized occurrence happens, things go sideways.
This, Socialism, is the end result.

Truth...

And it's sad that the truth is that what is actually TRUE, is irrelevant. One of the phrases that drives me most nuts from the leftists is "speak YOUR truth." What the hell is this? There isn't a different truth for everyone. There is THE truth, and then there are lies. Lies can be intentional or inadvertent, but if you have something that isn't the truth there really is only one other thing that it can be...

The whole "Speak your truth" I'm speaking "my truth" is total nonsense and I give anyone who says it complete hell for it. My little sister in law uses it every time I see her. It drives me absolutely mad!

But that is a window into the minds of folks these days, they might not be correct or factual, but they have "their truth" so it's a get out of jail free card on anything. Literally throws all logic and sense out the window.

The world we live in is freaking broken. The world has moved on and anyone left with sense and logic seeking truth through facts and evidence is now what is considered "crazy" those who "feel" what is and know it to be true in their hearts are the "sane" ones!

Freaking twilight zone reality we inhabit...

We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

BTW;
As of yet all Ocasio-Cortez has won so far is a less than disputed primary election and she won because the other guy thought it was in the bag for him so like Hillary Clinton, he didn't get out there and put forth the effort.
She's a flash in the pan and nothing more.

Dr. Laura Ingraham is the latest White conservative to be branded as a RACIST! due to her daring to utter the word demographics....

With that said here is a leftist publication that puts Ocasio-Cortez's election into perspective.

Demographics” Did Help Ocasio-Cortez Win, and That’s a Good Thing

Ocasio-Cortez has been working hard to dispel what she sees as a damaging myth: the idea that her win merely reflected the makeup of her district, which is about 50 percent Latino, 40 percent Spanish-speaking, and about three-quarters people of color. The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, for instance, wrote that Crowley lost not because far-left progressives like Ocasio-Cortez are convincing voters that they can lead better than a more centrist Democratic establishment, but “because of the changing demographics in [Crowley’s] district.”

1.) A leftist radical (had she been a conservative her race and sex would not have benefited her)
2.) A Hispanic
3.) A female

That is why the DNC as far back as the Hart–Celler Act in 1965 want an open southern border.
